Would you pay $100 for an updated Classic AmigaOS?
« on: June 30, 2009, 12:19:04 AM »
Would you be willing to pay $100 for an updated Classic AmigaOS? What features would you request for it to implement, enhance or bugfix? (Please do avoid senseless crap about DVD players for a poor 68k cpu, be realistic about what you can actually expect).

For example, in my case i would defintely pay $100 for the following integrated AmigaOS enhancements:
-DHCP support on a TCP-IP stack
-A CSS capable web browser that works on AGA/RTG
-A decent file decompression program WITH FILE COMPRESSION support
-An updated easier to use HDToolbox program
-A video player that supports FLV, WMV, MPG, QT and AVI, much like RiVA did with MPG, supporting both AGA and RTG
-A decent CD/DVD filesystem handler that supportd UDF, Multisessions, Dual layer DVDs
-An integrated CD/DVD burner application
-New Filesystems support: NTFS(Win7), HFS(Mac), ext4(linux) and one for efficient flash storage
-New and highly optimized BMP, PNG and TIFF datatypes
-A fully working version of MUI or an AROS optimized zune port

Thats it

Thanks everyone for their comments!

Still at the end, I think as dead as it may seem, AmigaOS on Classics still rocks!
A few interesting things i found out:

1-There is a very cool web browser for 68k Amigas called Merlin, that is being developed to work on AGA. Hope the project still goes

2-I am not the only one who wishes to have an AGA Picasso96 driver. It would be the best thing to happen!

3-SDL for AGA on 040/060 machines, could be awesome.

Hopefully someone will help these projects to finally see the light.
